Stuck in the jetwash Bad trip I couldn’t get off And maybe I bit off more than I could chewAnd overhead of the aqua blue

Fall to your knees bring on the raptureBlessed be the boys time can’t captureOn film or between the sheets I always fall from your window to the pitch black streets

And with the black banners raised as the crooked smiles fadeFormer heroes who quit too lateWho just wanna fill up the trophy case again

And in the endI’d do it all againI think you’re my best friendDon’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alrightI’ll be yoursWhen it rains it poursStay thirsty like beforeDon’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alright

And it’s our time now if you want to to beMaul the world like the carnival bears set freeAnd your love is anemic and I can’t believeThat you couldn’t see it coming from me

And I still feel that rush in my veinsIt twists my head just a bit to thinkAnd the people in those old photographs I’ve seen are dead

And in the endI’d do it all againI think you’re my best friendDon’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alrightI’ll be yours When it rains it poursStay thirsty like beforeDon’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alright

And sometimes I just want to sit around and gaze at my shoesAnd let your dirty sadness fill me up just like a balloon

And in the endI’d do it all againI think you’re my best friendDon’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alrightI’ll be yoursWhen it rains it poursStay thirsty like beforeDon’t you know that the kids aren’t all, kids aren’t alright

The F-14 Tomcat, arguably history’s single most iconic fighter jet was likely to leave you stranded alongside the highway, embarrassingly thumbing your way to the Danger Zone. Remember that scene in Top Gun in which Maverick flies through Iceman’s jetwash, causing his own engines to stall out? Well, that scene wasn’t just a bunch of Hollywood balderdash hyped up for dramatic effect – it was a fairly accurate representation of a major design flaw of the F-14.
